Dustnado captured on camera

Traffic on a road in Oklahoma came to a momentary halt when a swirling tower of brown sand formed in the sky.

A U local user was driving his semi truck when he saw a tall dust devil crossing the middle of the South 10th St. in Clinton, OK. The thin column formed a thick brown rotating mass below and faded as it danced up.

The whirling dust grew to about 150 ft. in diameter and moved at 40 to 60 mph, described the U local user.

“It was way bigger, but as fate would have it, it lifted right when I got my phone out,” he said.

Dust devils are typically harmless and usually sprout up during a sunny weather.
